Shrinkflation grinds my ####ing gears. Seriously, how much smaller and less quantity could this #### get? #### off bunch of grifting mother ####ers.

Just noticed the size of this unwrapped, it's now square! Square! Along with less quantity in the overall box!

Spoiler!

Should we tell him that it is a Halloween size? Or allow him his gripes?

Hate to see his reaction when he sees what shrinkflation did to his schlong.

Philosophically, or perhaps more appropriate, mathematically, can a square be a bar? A square is a rectangle. I think a square can be bar. So no foul?

I am seething at my wife. I was totally guilted into getting this dog a few years ago. It is way larger than expected. Reserve dog and it’s frankly a crappy dog. Very very high maintenance and smart. You cannot let it in the kitchen because it can move chairs and open doors and eat the garbage. Kind of bizarre.

Yet my mode likes to go on trips, this morning to Victoria. She will never kennel it because she loves this POS too much to subject him to a kennel.

Said she needs to kennel it but I get guilted into saying I will come home various times during the day and manage this.

She constantly leaves it unattended in the kitchen I think on purpose to be honest.

She brined pork chops a few days ago that were inedible because she forgot to rinse them. She’s vegetarian and I think makes it poorly so my kid becomes one.

So the dog got into the garbage and ate all 4 of them and apparently dogs should not eat that much salt because he is drinking 17 quarts of water and pissing everywhere.

So off to the vet we go at 1 am and I have not slept and I have to leave on a field tour in 10 minutes.

She’s flying to Victoria this morning. Dog will most definitely crap everywhere.

Leave the front door open so he can run in traffic? Because he absolutely will looking for food.

I'm sure whatever you choose to do will be the wrong choice.


Dogs are a no-win situation, but I minimized the risk by insisting I would not be doing 6am -30 dog walks. If you had to design eternal tortures for my wife, those two things would be involved in every one of them. We got a cat instead.

Dogs are kids that never get older maturity-wise than, like, 7 year-olds. As someone who doesn't want kids (snip snip mawf-ckas), this is probably weird realization for me to voice aloud while still maintaining that I do want another dog one day.

More like 2-3 year olds. And I think that’s probably generous.

If only there was a solution that over years of having a dog get into the garbage could exist to stop the dog from getting into the garbage

May I suggest - a garbage that locks !!! Or put child “locks” / latches on it so it can’t open it

I truely believe you can outsmart you dog !

Yeah I always refer to my dog as my youngest son even though he's 10 years old which is senior in dog years. I love him and all but do have that internal conversation in my head if I would get another one.

I know us urban folk aren't the target market of the UFA, but I'm amazed at how difficult they make it for me to give them my money.

Website shows a water pump I'm after on sale, and that there's stock in Medicine Hat or Camrose, but none in Calgary or Airdrie. They won't transfer it to Airdrie, or ship to me in Calgary. In store pickup only.

Feels like a government operation from 1990.

It's one of those lazy susan corner garbages. I actually bought more magnets but had not screwed them yet. Gonna try eight of them. Put a very heavy step stool in front of it but he has figured out how to move that and also my wife leaves the door open a lot.

If I could alarm it with that high pitched smoke alarm sound he would never try again. That sounds causes it to lose his mind for hours. That might be a funner option. Can you buy a hand thing that makes that sound so I can watch him attempt to get in? amd catch him and make that sound.
